How to use them
- Print one test, answer it without the handbook, then mark it with the key on the last page. The key explains each answer and gives the handbook section, so you can read up on anything you missed.
- Parents and driving instructors: the tests follow the Texas Driver Handbook (DL-7), so they line up with what new drivers need to know for the Texas DPS test.
- Use the online exam simulator when you're ready to test yourself in the real format.
